Hi!

I’m having troubles connecting Kamailio to an external MySQL database (on Microsoft Azure Cloud).

Initially creating the database with kamctl worked fine, but accessing it at runtime via db_url fails.

A somewhat unusual thing about the connection to a MySQL database on Azure is that the username contains an ‘@’ character.

This leads me to believe that this case is somewhat unhandled when parsing the database URI.

Trying to connect to something like

modparam("sipcapture", "db_url", "mysql://user@clouddb:password@clouddb.mysql.database.azure.com/db")

Results in errors starting Kamailio

ERROR: db_mysql [km_my_con.c:124]: db_mysql_new_connection(): driver error: Unknown MySQL server host 'clouddb' (-2)

ERROR: <core> [db.c:318]: db_do_init2(): could not add connection to the pool

ERROR: sipcapture [sipcapture.c:1146]: child_init(): unable to connect to database [mysql://user@clouddb:password@clouddb.mysql.database.azure.com/db] from capture_mode param.

Is there a trick on how to achieve a connection in this case like some sort of escape character probably?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
